Setup & Installation:
Installation of an AC compressor requires specialized knowledge and equipment. It is strongly recommended to have this part fitted by a qualified mechanic. The process typically involves:

Avoid running the AC on maximum settings constantly in extreme conditions if possible, and ensure cabin air filters are changed regularly to reduce strain on the system.
